My name is Cristina, I live near Barcelona in Spain. I have 34 years.I am married for almost seven years, and I have a three year old daughter, is a promising stamper. But for now, she only interested in stamps of monsters.I am dedicated to give scrapbooking workshops. I am very happy to dedicate my time to what I like.By profession, I am maitre, but this does not make me very happy.

I know the scrap from five years ago, and since then not a day in which I do not do something, I can not live without this in my life.For just over a year I have been able to combine two things I love, the Copic markers and scrapbooking. I bought my first Copic markers for 15 years, and if not for the stamps, which I love, would still stored on a shelf.

Hi everyoneMichele Spera here, I have always loved anything craft and art related since I was little, I took every Art class in school that I could get! I have worked at a Scrapbook/Rubber stamp store in the past and that sparked my passion to create cards. I work mainly with Copic Alcohol markers but have used all kinds of coloring techniques:-) I have been into card making for about 4/5 years. I have been married to my wonderful Husband, Paul for for going on 32 years....Yes right out of High School I married him and am still madly in love with him:-) We have three sons, 29, 24 & 14. We recently had a house built in Orlando Florida, right near the Magic Kingdom and yes we are Disney Freaks hehe! We still have a home on Long Island, New York and are back and forth between the two for now, but the Florida house is where I am at the moment:-) I look forward to being with everyone here at Milk & Coffee Designs xox

My name is Donna Mosley, I'm 44 and happily married for 21 years to my lovely hubby Wayne. We have two grown up children, Sam & Kyle and also a gorgeous little Grandson. I have always been a crafty person, over the years I have a little dabble in most things. I decided to make a little scrapbook almost 6 years ago when my Grandson was born and then quickly became obsessed with all things papery. I just LOVE it and can't remember what I did with my time before.

" My name is Kalina Pavlova and I live in a beautiful city of Varna (Bulgaria) on the Black Sea coast. I’m 36 years old and I have two boys that fill my day with laughter and excitement. My work is extremely unrelated to arts and crafts, but since I was little I couldn't spend my free time with idle hands. So I've tried sewing, embroidering, knitting and making jewelry. It was 3 years ago when I discovered card-making and totally fell in love with it. Every one of my cards usually tells a story covered with lots and lots of flowers and embellishments.I recently started coloring with alcohol markers and it became my new passion."
